A speed camera on the outskirts of Bath is causing drivers to fear they are about to be fined - no matter how fast they are travelling.

The rogue camera on A4 Bath Road Hill, Saltford, appears to be malfunctioning, giving the impression it is flashing at everything that moves past it, no matter how fast the vehicles are going.

One motorist took to twitter to warn other drivers that the camera was "on the blink".

David Bailey said: “Speed camera in Saltford is on the blink. Flashed us and many other cars at 18mph! @ccbathnes.”

A spokesperson for Bath and North East Somerset Council said: "We can confirm that the council, which is responsible for the maintenance of the speed camera at this location, is aware of a fault and an engineer will be on site in the next few hours.

"We would like to reassure motorists that any motorist passing the camera who hasn’t broken the statutory speed limit will not be issued with a fixed penalty notice by Avon and Somerset Police.”
